Supermicro: Advanced Server Solutions and Green Computing

The High-Performance Computing (HPC) landscape has changed dramatically over the past two decades. As HPC has become a more mainstream technology, it’s changed the world of design and engineering forever. Supermicro (SMCI) is a global technology leader committed to delivering first-to-market innovation for Enterprise, Cloud, AI, and 5G Telco/Edge IT Infrastructure. They are transforming into a Total IT Solutions provider with environmentally friendly and energy-saving server, AI, storage, IoT, and switch systems, software, and services while delivering advanced high-volume motherboard, power, and chassis products. Supermicro leverages advanced technology and system design expertise to reduce the power consumption of our server, blade, workstation, and storage systems. They add value by quickly integrating the newest technical advancements into the goods. To supply the most recent generation of cutting-edge solutions spanning server, storage, and networking platforms, Supermicro closely collaborates with technology partners. They provide a wide range of application-optimized server solutions for a variety of markets, including cloud computing, data centers, enterprise, big data, HPC, AI, 5G, IoT, embedded, and edge computing, all based on our acclaimed Server Building Block Architecture.

Data centers consume between two and four Terawatt Hours (TWh) of electricity annually (corresponding to 1% to 3% of the world’s energy consumption), and it is anticipated that this number would rise to between 2% and 8% by 2030. As a result, cutting back on energy use in a data center is advantageous for both the environment and the company. Lowering a data center’s Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) lowers OPEX and carbon emissions from power generation by reducing the electricity used by the computer equipment and the cooling facility. Green computing aims to improve server and data center performance while lowering its negative effects on the environment. While other actions can lower the data center’s PUE, some actions and purchases can have an impact on power usage at the server level and the lifecycle of the server. Supermicro products reduce power consumption and reduce E-Waste by allowing for subsystem upgrades as technology improves. Distributes fans and power supply to reduce power consumption, which enhances operation. Based on estimates, this can cut electricity consumption by 10%. Because Supermicro servers are built for optimal airflow, the CPU may run at greater temperatures. Several different Supermicro servers are prepared for usage with liquid cooling, which lowers fan speed and eliminates the requirement for HVAC systems, lowering PUE. Building HPC systems from the bottom up is something that Supermicro takes great pride in. Their committed teams provide plug-and-play services, customizing every part of each solution to meet and surpass even the most difficult HPC issues while also making supercomputer deployment simpler. The Supermicro Reference Architecture was created to meet all of your specific HPC needs. They offer a wide selection of building blocks, from motherboard design to system setup, fully integrated rack, liquid cooling systems, and many other benefits. The primary goal is to meet each customer’s unique demands with customized solutions.

“Our focus is on advancing sustainability while delivering high-performance, energy-efficient, and scalable server systems that meet the needs of today’s dynamic IT environments,” says Charles Liang     CEO of supermicro. Supermicro is paving the road for a more sustainable future while assisting customers in optimizing for their specific workloads and application. Supermicro has global operations for scale and efficiency and optimized solutions for reduced environmental impact.
